I've been wanting to do this for the last couple of
years, but I finally managed to get the time this year."

No Zeenie in
sight

Last year, Khan launched the remake of Qurbani with son
Fardeen, but
then the plan got shelved. "We couldn't finalise the other hero and the lead
actress.

Then Fardeen became busy with his films and I couldn't take his
dates so I had to put my film on hold. Now, I have got busy with this real
estate project and the film's got delayed because of me," Khan laughs, adding,
"But I do intend starting Qurbani sometime in July."

Kurbani got
stalled because there was no heroine available with bulk dates. "Yes, finding a
heroine and the second hero has been difficult and I have been oscillating
between Goa, Mumbai and Bangalore, but we should start Qurbani this
year.

I have finished recording two songs, but I still have to find my
Zeenat..."

Stud muffin!

Talking about his property plans,
Khan reveals that it is strictly for residential purposes.

"I am not
building a hotel. I am building 30 Spanish villas, some of which I shall be
selling, and some which I might be keeping for myself and for my
friends.

I also have my own ranch there, where I breed race
horses."

For the last few years, Feroz has stayed away from the races.
"Now, my interest is limited only to breeding horses.

I didn't go to the
Derby or the Poonawala races this year. Other interests have declined as my
horses have become slower and the women faster," he laughs.

Healthy
competition

When asked if he has other partners on the projects, the
actor isn't forthcoming. "It's too early to divulge details right now.

We
should be finalising everything in the next couple of months. Things are still
in the initial stages," he says.

So will he be giving competition to his
younger brother, Sanjay, who owns the Royal Palms Resort in Bangalore? Khan
grins, "Competition is healthy.

My project is 10 km from Sanjay's resort.
But our projects are totally different. Mine is a residential layout, while
Sanjay's is a resort."
